Got a painter's suit from home depot for glove box material

Wanted to use the arms for arm sleeves
But it doesn't look like it's tyvek.
And it says it has a pore size that will block .3 micron and above, which seems huge.
Should I even bother using this for arm sleeve or should I wait for tyvek arm sleeves?

using attached gloves is not the best idea for two reasons:
1. you cannot use an alcohol lamp effectively with attached gloves, because you would have to put it inside the still air box. and if you don't know why that is a bad idea, do a search of this site's posts for glove box explosion.
2. attached gloves are almost never sanitized fully and properly. dish gloves have texture with pits that can easily harbor mold spores or other contaminates. It's best to use disposable gloves, such as latex gloves each time. And even then they should be wiped with isopropyl before use. Having the gloves attached, or glued on makes this not an option.
For these reasons using sleeves and disposable gloves is a superior method. You can have an alcohol lamp outside of the glove box and easily move your gloved hand between the inside and the outside without opening up the box or a side door. Also using new gloves each time ensures they are properly cleaned and sanitized.

So I'm wondering if the painter's suit will be ok to use or if tyvek has some superior advantage over it..?

I know tyvek works well, it's what I use. I know nothing of the "painter's" suit of unknown fabric/material. so sorry, I can't tell for certain. I doubt there's too many folks that have used the product you have, so you might just need to try it... or wait.
maybe somebody knows better...
if you hold tyvek up to the light, you can see the unevenness of the fibers. this would lead me to believe at many points it has a rather large pore size... so maybe what you have is just fine. ?
